According to Odaily Planet Daily, archived data as of August 24, 2024 showed that Foundry USA and Antpool jointly controlled 56.7% of the total computing power of the Bitcoin mining network in the past three days.
Foundry and Antpool have particularly benefited from this week’s fee surge, which has resulted in much higher block fees than usual. As of now, the total Bitcoin network hashrate is hovering around 651 EH/s.
Foundry’s contribution over the past three days was about 215.79 EH/s, and it has maintained a strong contribution of about 199.02 EH/s over the past seven days. Antpool’s contribution over the past three days reached 153.55 EH/s, and its contribution over the past seven days reached 162.55 EH/s.
Back in January, Foundry’s hashrate contribution was 140.26 EH/s, and it has now grown by 75.53 EH/s. In contrast, Antpool’s growth has been more stable, starting the year at 147.40 EH/s, but it has remained the second largest mining pool throughout 2024.
